In the small canton of Aargau, in Switzerland, on a rocky bluff of the Wulpelsberg, there still remains an old
baronial castle, called Hapsburg, or Hawk's Castle.

Many years ago, there was an Emperor, who was so excessively fond of new clothes, that he spent all his money in dress. He did not trouble himself in the least about his soldiers; nor did he care to go either to the theatre or the chase, except for the opportunities then afforded him for displaying his new clothes. He had a different suit for each hour of the day; and as of any other king or emperor, one is accustomed to say, ‘he is sitting in council,’ it was always said of him, ‘The Emperor is sitting in his...

The year 1809 had come; but the war against France, so intensely longed for by all Austria, had not yet broken
out, and the people and the army were vainly waiting for the war-cry of their sovereign, the Emperor Francis.
It is true, not a few great things bad been accomplished in the course of the past year: Austria had armed,
organized the militia, strengthened her fortresses, and filled her magazines; but the emperor still hesitated to
take the last and most decisive step by crowning his military preparations with a formal declaration of war....

Concerning the great quantity of silver and gold which was brought from Cuzco, and of the portion thereof
which was sent to H. M. the emperor as the royal fifth: How the imprisoned Cacique Atabalipa declared
himself free of his promise which he had made to the Spaniards to fill a house with gold for ransom: And of
the treason which the said Atabalipa meditated against the Spaniards, for which betrayal they made him die.

The question of the Spanish succession. 196. The king of Spain, Charles II, was childless and brotherless, and Europe had long been discussing what would become of his vast realms when his sickly existence should come to an end. Louis had married one of his sisters, and the emperor, Leopold I, another, and these two ambitious rulers had been considering for some time how they might divide the Spanish possessions between the Bourbons and the Hapsburgs. But when Charles II died, in 1700, it was discovered that he had left a will in which he made Louis' younger grandson,...

The pleasant historical novel which is now offered to the American public, refers to a period of history very
much misrepresented, though very frequently written about, or at least referred to by popular writers. In the
contest between Pope Alexander III. and the Emperor Frederic Barbarossa, we see a very important phase of
the long struggle between the spiritual and civil power; a struggle, in which was fought the battle of real
liberty, and real Christian civilization, against brute force and Pagan tyranny.

National bestselling author Michelle Moran returns to Paris, this time under the rule of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte as he casts aside his beautiful wife to marry a Hapsburg princess he hopes will bear him a royal…

One of the most ancient legends handed down to us by the early Church is that of St. Cecilia, the patroness of
music and musicians. She is known to have been honoured by Christians as far back as the third century, in
which she is supposed to have lived.
Doubtless much of fancy has been added, in all the ensuing years, to the facts of Cecilia's life and death. Let
us, however, take the legend as it stands. It says that St. Cecilia was a noble Roman lady, who lived in the
reign of the Emperor Alexander Severus. Her parents, who secretly professed Christianity, brought...

THE country to which the term Hindustan is strictly and properly applied may be roughly described as a
rhomboid, bounded on the north-west by the rivers Indus and Satlej, on the south-west by the Indian Ocean,
on the south-east by the Narbadda and the Son, and on the north-east by the Himalaya Mountains and the river
Ghagra.

The student of India who would at the same time be an historian, discovers to his sorrow that the land of his researches is lamentably poor in historical sources. And if within the realm of historical investigation, a more seductive charm lies for him in the analysis of great personalities than in ascertaining the course of historical development, then verily may he look about in vain for such personalities in the antiquity and middle ages of India. Not that the princely thrones were wanting in great men in ancient India, for we find abundant traces of them in Hindu...

If we multiply the price-earnings estimate of Sloan (1936), which is equal to 17.5, by
1929 total NIPA earnings, we get an estimate for the market value of all corporations in late
August/early September of 1929 of 1.54 times GNP (= 30.8/1.76 × 8.8).
We can use the same procedure with companies in the S&P indices. In Table 2, we
provide a list of the 50 companies in the S&P industrial index, the 20 companies in the S&P
index of railroads and the 20 companies in the S&P index of public utilities. The 90 are the
stocks in their composite index. Along with names, we report...

The Ming emperors restored China to greatness. They were succeeded by the Qing dynasty, which ruled until 1911. Japanese unification began in the sixteenth century. Although Korea attempted to remain isolated, it fell under Chinese rule. Europeans struggled to control the profitable spice trade in Southeast Asia.

Tea has existed as a beverage since 2000 B.C. The brewing, serving, and
drinking of tea are time-honored rituals throughout the world. While there is
general agreement that the tea trade began in China, both China and India
lay claim to discovering the dietary properties of tea leaves. The Chinese tell
the story of a mythical emperor named Shen Nung who was so particular
about his nutrition that he boiled his drinking water before he drank it. One
day, the story goes, the wind caught some of the leaves on the tree branches
that he had used to build a fire.

China is known as the Middle Kingdom or the
Central Kingdom and its central point is the capital,
Beijing. Chinese culture has developed in the
different areas of the nation over thousands of years
and since the emperors took up residence in Beijing
and made it the capital city, it has been favored with
one fantastic building after another. Today, after the
fall of the empire, tourists and the general populace
are admitted to the opulent palaces, the temples and
all the places where the emperors once made their
way....

The Art of Public Speaking with appeals to the people, attributing the decline of the birth rate and increase in the death rate to the widespread use of alcoholic beverages. The experience of the German Government has been the same. The German Emperor has clearly stated that leadership in war and in peace will be held by the nation that roots out alcohol. He has undertaken to eliminate even the drinking of beer, so far as possible, from the German Army and Navy. −−RICHMOND PEARSON HOBSON, Before the U.S. Congress. 4. Since the burden of proof lies on him who...
